Battle Creek is the next series from Breaking Bad creator Gilligan. David Shore serves as showrunner and last week cast fellow House alum Kal Penn as a detective. The logline: “When two detectives with very different world views are teamed up, they must answer the question: is cynicism, guile and deception enough to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, Michigan in the face of a complete lack of resources; or is the exact opposite true - it takes naïveté, trust and a boatload of resources?”

McTeer will play Guziewicz, the commander of the Battle Creek police department. McTeer is a British actress who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Starz’ The White Queen. She also co-starred in the film The Woman in Black.
